FOREWORD.

T HE acquiring of uicunables as monuments of printing, apart from
the historical and literary interests of their context, has become the
“ ultima Thule ” of book collecting during the last 150 years

The knowledge of incunabics (the “ cradle-books ” of printing from
its invention up to the end of the year 1500 a d ) has made vast strides since
the days of Dibdin, Mattaire, and Panzer The pioneer work of Messrs
Robert Proctor and Henry Bradshaw has laid our knowledge of the printers,
types and press work of the fifteenth century on a firm foundation, while the
work of M Briquet on the water-marks of the paper used by the early
printers has added! another stone to the structure of this science While it

0

may be objected by some that this is but a dry science, without any bearing
on the problems of life, it cannot be denied that there are few hobbies that
can equal the pleasure of fixing definitely the particular country, town, press,
printer and year to which an incunable bearing none of these certain indica-
tions may be ascribed.

In the majority of fifteenth century books, in a colophon,

0

the early printers were wont to thank the Almighty for His aid in
the completion of their work, to this they have ii-u *11 \ added their own
names and origin, often the names of the correctors, the place of printing
(town and street) , the evact date, (day of the week, month, and year) , and
in some cases the names of' the individual or individuals at whose expense
the book had been produced. However, in some of the cuilust metmahk-,
and indeed in many of the later ones, the colophon was dilibiratclv omitted
Professor Haebler has accordingly published, in recent years, a guide to fif-
teenth century types in which he lias deduced the names of the printers from
the different forms of the capital letter “ M ” Just as the dictionaries of the
Chinese ;; are arranged with the help of the i.i * 1 v to enable the
meaning of the Chinese characters to be found, in the absence of a Chinese
.iljubi’, so he uses the variants of the capital letter “ M ” to find out to
which Press an V. wanting a cn’‘v* » or anj r bagment must

necessarily ‘

In this Catalogue an endeavour has been made to offer to collectors a
choice of incunablcs from as many presses as possible, and more t -pi c.r.'y
from the rarer presses. There are no less than di.ci specimens from English
presses ; fifty two from French Provincial presses (including, of course, the
presses of Alsace-Lorraine) ; four leaves from the famous Block Book of the
Apocalypse of St. John; a fragment of the earliest known European type-
printing, the Gutenberg Donatus of 1448 (No. 146 plate XX) , the only
known Xylographic Letter of Indulgence (No 160 and plate XXII) , many
books of the greatest rarity from the ca*l> Gtiman presses, a number of them •
in the original monastic bindings of oak boards covered with stamped pigskin
or leather, two of them bearing one of the eailiest known book-plates (see
plate X); over four hundred Italian incunables, many being “ Editiones
I’rincipes ” of the Latin and Greek classics

Attention must be called to the extraordinarily fine and large collection
of seventy-five Spanish incunables, from the towns of Barcelona, Burgos,
Huete, Leri da, Montserrate, Pamplona, Salamanca, Saragossa, Sevilla,
Toledo, Valencia, Valladolid, and Zamora Tins collection of raiities
is probably unequalled by any library in the world, if we except the
National Libraries of Madrid and Lisbon, the British Museum Library, and
the Library of the Hispanic Society of America, New York

In the description and collation of the books contained in this Catalogue
gieat help has been ch rived from the standard bibliographies, Ham, Copinger,
Pioctor, Pcllechet, Haebler, and above all from the catalogue (now in course
>f publication) of the fifteenth centmy books m the British Museum

The Myrioui of the Woild was founerly one of the most popular books and owing to
the fact that it was illustrated, very few copies have escaped destruction It describes
the state of the Clergy, gives a buef sketch of Chivalry, the comparative state of
learning in the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Pans, gives curious notes on
Nat ui al Histoiy and Music, an extiaoidinary account of the Amazons, and amusing
descnptions of the Purgatory of St Patrick

"Theie is also m Irlonde a place called Seynt PaArykes purgatorye, whicho place is

" This book exhibits another of those puzzling peculiarities, which it is difficult to
account for satisfactorily We have here the same type and mode of printing, which
distinguish, not only the Golden Legend of 1493, but, m part, the Treatise of Love,
that is to say, the large lower-case type, in each of these three publications, is
precisely the same, and such as was used by W de Worde, while the smaller type,
forming, the body of the text, m the work first referred to, and in the present one,
are exactly similar, and partake more of the Caxtonian character."

One of the earliest books on Witchciatt The author of this treatise has contrived to
condense a largo mass ol curious intoimation on the subject ot witchcralt and sorcery
into a dialogue sou trialogus between the Aichduko Sigismund to whom the tract is
dedicated, one Conrad Schat/ (vir providus et praestans) and himself, and very search-
ing aio the questions on witchcralt propounded and replied to

" In view ot the great raiity and interesting chaiactei ol the book it has been thought
advisable to mention some of its leading features In the second chapter, De nocu-
mentis moibis hominibus et intantibus lllatis (ol the injuries and diseases biought by
the Witchcralt 01 Pythomc women ijpon men and liiiants), attei describing on absurdly
insufficient authonty the ills which the innocent infant is made to suffer at the hands
ol the witches, Sigismund asks, 'What of the injuries to old and middle-aged ? ' to
which Coni ad leplies, ‘ We have seen many old men bent and limping who asserted
that these infirmities had happened to them by the sorceries of these cursed women '
The artist has come well equipped with intelligence and imagination to the aid of the
feeble text It will be seen that the Lamia or hag is shooting at the peasant with an
arrow whose point is in hei hand, an inverse position which has had dire consequences
Sigismund is asked if he believes that by witchcraft the face of man can be transformed
into that of some othei animal, and replies in the negative, evincing his faith in
ecclesiastical authority by a decretal in which the man who asserts the possibility of
such a change is declared to be an infidel and worse than a heretic Conrad, of course,
is on the side of the angels, and quotes Virgil, Boetius, St Clement, the History of
Simon Magus, Vmcentius, and William of Malmesbury with so much ingenuity that
Sigismund sums up the discussion by the remark that Coni ad has by his authones
and histones compelled him to confess that on this subject he haidly knows what to
believe, and suggests that the two should next pioceed to discuss the problem of
nding the brcxmistick The artist has evidently undertaken to combine in the wood-
cut an illustration ot the debate on change of faces with a representation of the aerial
flight, an attempt in which the reader will, I think, admit that he has admirably
succeeded We have heie graphically depicted the broomstick forked at the lower end,
with an evident leferenco to the divining rod, on which sits the leading witch,
ass-headed and m petticoats, perhaps not astride after all, and steers the infernal
conveyance Hei cavalier, clasping her waist, as of old the dame on the pillion was
wont to clasp her squue, emits from his macaw's beak a torrent of abuse directed at
the poor little belated witch with the sad dog's face, who is clutching his jerkin, and
forbids her to mount, he seems to imply that though there is plenty of room there is
not enough of psychical force, or that two is company and three none A query folio* a
which the superstitious wdrld has long answered in the affirmative, Utrum profici cantur
ad convivia super baculum vel liupum equitado — whether witches can ride to their
revels on a broomstick or on a wolf's back? Conrad, ever ready with apology, opines
that if Abacuck, as he calls the prophet, could be transported through space by his
hair, and Philips be snatched away to Azotus, the like effects could be produced by
spiritual agency in his day The draughtsman seems in this instance to have lost
some of the nerve which inspired him in the preceding illustration A tamer witch-
carrying wolf, or a less maleficent-looking witch, one could hardly devise "—Hodgkin's

William OCKHAM 01 OCCAM (d 1349 ? ), " Doctor mvincibilis ” , studied at Oxford

possibly under Duns Scotus, became a Franciscan, BD Oxford, went to Pans and
associated with Marsiglio, DD Paris, entered into the Franciscan controversy
concerning poverty, and defended (1323) against Pope John XXTI , the doctrine of
" evangelical poverty,” accepted (1322) by the chapter at Peiugia, was imprisoned at
Avignon on a charge of heiesy, 1328, but escaped to the emperor at Pisa , accompanied
him back to Bavaria, 1330, and lesuled m the Franciscan house at Munich, where, with
Michael da Cesena, he was a leader of the "evangelical poveity” minority Was
vicar of his oidei fiom 1342, but passed on the ring rf office, 1149, and probably was
reconciled to the Pope upon the recantation of his more obnoxious doetunes, died
and was buried at Munich His eminence lies in his work in logic, philosophy, and
political theory He was the second founder of nominalism, and made the method of
logic known as the r ‘ By/antine logic ” his fundamental basis The title * Venerabilis
Inceptor ” is apparently older than the more familiar “ Doctor mvincibilis ”

'I ln^ lettei ot indulgence is icmaikahle foi sexeial leasons knstly it is the fiist item
punted in Munich Secondly it is the only lcttci ot indulgence punted tiom a wood
block ( w logiaphit)

The lettc 1 ot indulgence must ha\e been published eaily in H82 by Father Petrus, the
Guaidmn ot tho Fiantiscan Commit in Munich (which is still extant) because Pope
Sixtus IV declared all letter* of Indulgence in facoui of the Crusade against the
'lurks, unalid by tho middles ot tho year H82 As there was no punting pree»s set
up 111 Munich at that date (the first book punted in Munich with type is dated
28th Tune, U82 Pam 11210) the Author ot the Letter of Indulgence, the Guaidian of
the Fianciscans, had to oidei tho letteis from a Cuttei in Wood It is piobable that
he ordeied the letteis fiom Pans Sc liauer (who w r as latei the Munich printer) especi-
illy as it is known tiom two woodcuts signed Hanns Schauei (Schreiber 1, 1128 & 11,
3855) that Pans Sc liauer was a wood-cutter before becoming a punter It is possible
that Schauei had already his in ess set up in Munich, but had to cut the letter on a
wood block in default of being able to get typos

Dr G J e idinger (ZeutiaW.bkitt 1905, pi> 138, etc ) has given a full account of this
lot 1 1 1 and has pi o\ ed its absolute authenticity and the interesting fact that copies
ol it ha\e been found inside the fifteenth-eentuiy landings which were examined on
the shch os of the Munich State Libiaiy toi their expected contents

A fmthei mtoiesting fact is th.\t all these letteis of indulgence woic offered for sale
already scaled as is stated m the latin text sigilh cruciate impiessione Munm ” As
they w'eie declared imal>id by the Pope, the Fianuscans iemo\ed the seals as well
as they could and utilised the pnpei to stiengthen tho bindings of books m their
hbiaiy

Our copy bears on the back in ink “ Inc T\p No 1875 ” It is apparently a duplicate
from the Munich State Libiarv

has had some light east upon him by the note referring to him in the British Museum
Catalogue, Vol. IT., p. 481. " The only book from this press tho completion of the
printing of which is dated, is the Mcditationes or Content pi at i ones of Turrecremata,
finished on Christmas Eve, 1172.” Very few books were issued from this tho Second
Speier Press.

This is the first edition of one of the most remarkable transformations in the History
of Literature. As is to-day widely known the Saints Barlaam and Josaphat, whose
exemplary lives are celebrated in the book wo have before us. are no other than a
corruption of the name Bodliisattva, the name of Gautama Buddha, the founder of
Buddhism.

We have here the extraordinary spectacle of the founder of Buddhism, one of the greatest
World religions, being divided into two and becoming two Roman Catholic Saints,
one of whom, the hermit Barlaam, converted the saintlly King Josaphat to Christianity.

TTistoiy of Couit Fools, p 28

borcatulus, a learned wntei on law, accepts as ti uo a stoij, veiy like one to be found
in Rabelais and which Flogel quotes from another accomplished junst, Accursius It
is a story in which ignorance is made to pass foi wisdom, and is therefore, although
common, jot not quite so excellent a joke as it woukl pietend to be, and is to this
effeat —

Tho Item ms sent in unbassador to Greece in older to piocuie a copy of the Laws of
the Twelve Tables The Gieeks would make no such costly gift till they were satisfied
that eho petitioneis had men amongst them who could eompiehend the wisdom of the
Laws They despatched au envoy to look into tho matte i , and when the Romans
heaicl ot him and his pm pose, they lesolvccl to defeat him by means of a fool Thev
clothed the litter in purple, surrounded him with a guaul of honour, and dismissed
him to encounter tha accomplished ambassador fiom Gieece, with one single point ot
instruction — ho was on no account to open his mouth

Tho Aihciu m commi^sionei, seeing the representative of Roman wisdom standing befoie
him, giave and speechless, observed, with a smile, " T undei stand The gentleman is
a Pythagorean, and cairies on an aigument onl j bj Mgr-” And thereupon he raided
a single linger, to imply that there was only one pnnciplo ot natuie m the universe

The simpleton sent by Rome, not dreaming that this was the opening of a philosophical
aigument, but looking upon it rather as a menace, extended two fingers and a thumb
tow aids the Greek, as if about to take him by the nose

4 Good’ \eiy good’ ” mm mured the Athenian " He shows me the Pythagorean Tiias —
Die triple God in one I must intimate that I undei stand him ” — and the philosophical
envoy approached the stolid Roman, with the flat of ins hand extended towards him
lie intended thereby to imply that the divine Trias was the upholder of all things
The Roman, however, thinking it an appioximation to a box on tho ear drew back
a step, lifted lus doubled fist, and awaited the coming of the Gieek

The face of the latter was covered by a radiant smile Ho could only exclaim, " Perfect t

Now if this story b?, as Forcatuluw will have it. historically true, I must add that it
has been improved in the hands of the story-tellers. These, of course, have made it
a Christian disputation, in which the hired fool has but one eye. The real meta-

. physician reads in th? signs of the simpleton the whole Christian revelation, but the
story is improved by the fool's own description of the matter. When I saw him
raise one finger. I thought he mocked mO, as having but one eye; and I held out two
fingers, meaning that my single eye was as good as his two. But when he, therefore,
held out three fingers, signifying that there w’ere only three eyes between us, 1

The Spanish Cardinal and {Statesman Bernairdin de Garvajal stayed at Rome about the
middle of the year 1493 in order to assure the Pope of the submission o*f the King of
Spain which he did with the above speech (one of the earliest printed diplomatic
speeches) on the 19th of June, 1493. The speech refers to ail the political and social
events which had taken place till 14-93 under Ferdinand IT. and Isabella, especially
referring- to the Union of the Spanish Monarchy and the final destruction of the
ascendancy of the Moors under Boabdil through the fall of Granada in 1492. Several
of Peter Martyr d'Anghiere's letters are addressed to the Cardinal. He was excom-
municated by Pope Julius II.

On folio 6 verso, lines 16 and following we read the following lines referring to the
discovery of America which is the first mention of the Discovery of America in
print (with the exception of the Columbus letter of May, 1493).

" Subegit quoque sub eis xps fortunatas insulas qua rum fertilitatem mirabilem esse
constat. Ondit: et nuper alias incognitas versus Indes quae maxime ac plene oib® mundi
preciosis existimantur et xpo per regies internuntios brevi pariturae creduntur."

(Translation). — And Christ placed under tlieir [Ferdinand and Isabella's] rule the
Fortunate [Canary] Islands, the fertility of which has been, ascertained to be wonder-
ful. And he lias lately disclosed some other unknown ones towards the Indies wiiich
may be considered among the most precious things on earth; and it is believed that
they will be gained over to Christ by the emissaries of the King.

This mention was printed a bare four months after Columbus* return from his first
voyage of discovery. He had landed on March 4, 1493, at Lisbon.

Harrisse in his " Notes on Columbus ” (Cambridge, 1865), p. 136, writing of the abo^vo
book, says : “ Another (allusion) of a very early date which may have preceded even
Leander de Cosco’s very poor Latin translation of the Admiral’s letter, since it is
dated June 19th, 1493, is to be found in a small quarto o»f 8 leaves, issued without dato
or name of printer."

The Times Literary Supplement of September 5, 1918, has an article* on this rare little
volume, and concludes as follows : —

"When it is recollected that the famous letter of Columbus announcing liisr discoveries
was dated 3 Kal., May, 1493 (really April 29), and that it is certain that a longer
time separated the writing and printing of that letter than would intervene between
the delivery and printing of Carvajal's oration, it becomes doubtful whether more
than a very few" days intervened between the publication of the first printed docu-
ment relating to America, the letter of Columbus, and the oration of Cafmjal, in
which that discovery was officially announced to the Church and the world.”

Pope Innocent VIII died in Tulv, 14-92, eight months before it was known in Europe
that Columbus had discovered th* New World, eon equentlv the paragraph in
question could not have been in the Oration as dehvered bv Yala^cus, but must
ha^e been an interpolation when punted in 1494, which was only a lew months after
Columbus' return, and when all Europe was excited over his great discovery, and
when the rnal claim of ^nain and Portugal was causing a great controversv as to
whether the honour was due to Columbus or to the Poitugrese Navigator Behaim

<r The first two oi these seim-ons weie pleached beloie Innocent VIII , the rest before
Alexander VI Both the type and the capitals used 111 tins book appeal to have been
in the possession of Ant Gontier at Naples m 1493, and Proctor (3996) was m doubt
as to whether it was printed at Naples by Gontier But it seems more probable that
these, like almost all .sermons preached before the Pope, were .printed at Rome, m
which case they are no doubt correctly assigned to Besicken, who appears to have
acquired Gontier's material (see Fuva and Bresciano, La 8 1 am pa m Napoli, No 223)
They must then have been printed after 1493, at the end ort which year Gontier
presumably gave up at Naples, and before 21st September, 1496, the date of the author’s
death, it being reasonably certain that they uvere printed in his lifetime”

" The Strife of Love in a Dream, as its Elizabethan translator prettily rendered the
title ot the Hypnerotomachia, is an ai cheeological love-story, perhaps with Antiquity
itself, as it9 heroine, and with much more attention bestowed on the sights which
she displays to her lover than on the progress ot his suit Poliphilo, ' the lover of
Polia/ tails asleep, and in his dream, to quote the preface, ‘ sees many antiquities,
worthy of memory, in all their details, and describes them m appropriate terms
with elegant style/ and not only describes them but gives their measurements
Polia takes him to the palace of Queen Eleuterylida and to see the triumphs or
festivals of Jove and his earthly loves, of Bacchus and Vertumnus and Pomona, and
the feast of the garden god, Pnapus She persuades him to enter a ruined temple,
where she is frightened by a vision of hell Then Cupid carries off the lovers in a
boat rowed by six nymphs They oome to the island Cytherea and see all its wonders,
and the grave of Adonis, where they are told of the festival m his honour. Polia
recounts her history to the nymphs and the story of her love, with an incidental
reference to the building of Treviso and the fortunes of the Lein Attacked by the
plague, she had devoted herself to Diana, Poliphilo had found her m the temple and
told her what he suffered for her love Terrified by a sight of the vengeance of Cupid
on cruel maids, she had consoled him, whereupon they were driven from the temple,
made their plaint to the priestess of Venus, and were united by the goddess At this
point the dream ends, and Poliphilo, saddened by the envious day, brings his
Hypnerotomachia to an end, dating it at Treviso on May Day, 1467.

" In the summary on 3a we are told that five nymphs are the five senses. Queen
Eleuterylida is Free Will, and a labyrinthine garden stands for human life. It is
unlikely that this allegory goes very deep, it may have been dragged in merely to
avoid ecclesiastical censure It is perhaps equally unlikely that Polia (who is ones
called Lucretia) was a real lady of Treviso, who entered a real convent after the
plague which visited the city m 1464 and 1466, though she has been identified with

Hippolita Lelio, niece of the ruling bishop POLIAM FRATER FRANCISCUS
COLUMN A PERAMAVIT is the tale told by the initial letters of the successive
chapters, but Fra Francesco Colonna had been a Dominican since 1455, and was
now a teacher of rhetoric, and if he had an archaeological bishop it is more pro-
bable that he was romancing of his love for antiquity than of the tbishop's niece
In 1471 he joined the convent of SS Giovanni e Paolb at Venice, is found at Padua
two years later, became sacristan of his convent in 1500, was granted a pittance of
firewood, bread, and wine m 1521 m consequence of his age and infirmities, and
died in 1527 When his romance was published, at the expense of the jurisconsult
Lionaido Cras&o, m 1499, Colonna was already 66, at the time of his death he was
<ibout 94 Of Crasso, his publisher, little is known In 1508 he calls himself a
prothonotanus apostolicus 9 m petitioning for a renewed privilege for the book
This he cites as ' Pohfillo vulgar, opera molto utile et fructuosa de grandissmia
elegantia/ and explains that 'per li tempi e disturbi do gueria' it had not been
possible to export it, and that neaily the whole edition, on which he had spent
iissai centeneia de ducati/ was still unsold In 1508 the Venetian book-trade had
indeed recently passed through a bad time, but the financial failure of the book was
perhaps equally due to the ' res una in oo miranda 5 on which Ciasso had touched
in his dedication to Duke Guido, that while wntten in Italian it could not be
understood without a knowledge of Gieek and Latin ( r quod cum no&trati lingua
loquatut, non minus ad eum cogncseendum opus sit graeca et romana quam tusca
et vernacula the Greek, it may be said, being of a somewhat peculiar kind "

\s regards the authoiship of the wonderful illustrations the signatuie b on the
third has led to their being attributed to numerous celebrated artists but it is
now fairly well recognized that celebrated artists in Italy did not concern them-
selves with bookwork, ancl that b is probably the signature of a woodcutters'
workshop Attempts to make a list of othei books illustrated by the same hand
are baffled by the dual personalitv which has to be de.dt with The present writer

VALTURIUS (Robertas) — continued

Dibdm describes the woodcuts as follows —

Two outs on folio 25 represent the mode ol measuung the altitude of a towei One
figure, in the upper cut, is discharging an arrow from a cross bow , the other figure
is lying down, with a line from the top ot the tower to his left eye The figure, in
the lower cut, is measuring the altitude with an astrolabe

On the recto of the 92nd leaf there is a large woodcut of a machine, in the shape of a
tub or bucket, with a leathern vessel and -weight dropping from a transverse beam—
at end of which seems to be, according to the text, an horologium On the reverse,
this horologe is enlarged, with two suns at the opposite extreme of the outer circle
On the recto of the 152nd leaf there is a laige cut A cut of a “ missile spear ” is on
the 'reverse The recto ot the ensuing leaf is blank, on the reverse is a large cut,
occupying nearly a full page, representing an instrument for the effectual discharge
of these "missilia hast ilia” We have, next, an account of various species ot erase
bows, with cuts, spear-heads, at the top of fences, succeeded b> cais, drawn by oxen
and horses All soits ot defensive constructions, in the toims of turrets, etc, en9uo.
Then comes, a most teruihc machine, in the form of a dragon with outstretched wings
(See Plate XXXIV) Numeious implements and machines, tor the transportation
ot water, are next seen, and a little onward there is a machine for the conveyance ot
man to the upper pait of a tower A man, below, catches hold ot that part of the
lever, which, by means ot a swivel in the centre, nearly reaches the earth A cord is
fastened at this nether extremity Machines, for passing from one tower to another,
are next exhibited, and we presently behold a curious and effectual eonstiuction foi
a drop, or drawbridge a machine, m the shape of a platform, armed at the extreme
end of the bottom, is next seen It is floating upon the water, a windlass is towards
the centre of it, beneath winch is a coiled rope To the right, a man m armour is
M>ated, holding the rope that it should not escape too rapidly To the left, a man 19 -
pulling down, by means of a rope (which runs below upon a cog wheel), a sharp
projecting instrument of defence Both these flgmes are well executed We have,
next, a great vamety of scaling ropes and ladder^, applied to towers We now come-
to offensive weapons m the shape of cannon, mortars, and bombs, but the whole is
preceded >bv a figure shooting at an aperture in a tower, with a cioss bow, cannons
of various forms, and applied in, various ways, by means of elevations, immediately
succeed One of the modes of elevating cannon, represents eight heavv guns pointing
various ways, upon a circular platform

Then follow various modes of casting atones in slings, by the aid of mechanical powers
or machines The stone usually appears of considerable magnitude We have next
an armed galley Battering rams are then displayed, of various constructions, and
with various powers A series of Standards next arrests the attention when after a
dozen pages, we obsene a large mairine tower, with a fish-tailed figure, at top,
blowing a conoh A great number of instruments for enabling persons to swim across
rivers, and paiss under water, now ensues, among these, is a figure, which reminds us
of the modern diving-bell "

This book has the same text as No 671 (the previous edition of U98), but in many
oases a different woodcut initial is used (different letters are used not only a different
type) The earlier edition has very few abbreviations, a large nuija^er being used in
the 1499 edition In many cases where there are paragraph-marks m the 1498 edition,
woodcut initials are used instead in the 1499 edition. The 1499 edition has 38 long
lines, and thus occupies 58 leaves, while the 1498 edition has 34 lines invariaiblly and
consequently occupies only 56 leaves The quaring of the two editions also varies

The only copy known of this edition of the famous " Love's Prison " in the Spanish
language. Haebler 605 "The editions of the books that Peter ILigcnUwh published
in 1500 must have been very small indeed, because only a single copy is known of the
greater part of them This book is the fruit of the zeal of the meritorious pioneet
of Printing in Toledo, and is only knov\n by a quotation from Gallardo, who saw a
copy of it without the first leaf, which came from the library of Don Vincencio de
Tn-f.ino'i‘ He did not mention where it went to l do not know if in this edition
only the continuation of San Pedro’s poem is printed, vih ill appears hardly probable,
or whether it contains the 01 igmal nark together with the continuation by Nic Nunez,
which the size of the book uouhl r eem to contradict Gal'anlo only treats of it as
containing the work of Nunez, see Gallardo No 3229 " Fortunately, by the discovery
of the very copy seen by Gallardo and still bearlmg the library -label on the first leaf,
“ De la bibliotheca de Vincencio de T <m. vi<m«.i, Cavalro Tnfunyon, Ciuidadano de Huesca,
y Senor de I mm iiei.i- ” the question raised by Haebler can be resolved. On folio F IV

This book has been noted by Gal '.ml) and by all Bibliographers that h«no followed, as
the work of Dr. Miguel Albert, but Fuster questioned if \iboit was ieally author or
only the publisher. The recent di-e »\ piics that have been p.ioli-hed by Sr. Serrano in
his “ Diccionano de Imprenta en V.ilciu'iu” leaves no doubt that the text of the
work was edited by the 1 ■ q i- 1 . \ and that Albert had only the printing of the book
The first contract made between Dr Albert and Juan Goanez de Carrion ot the In-
quisition, the 12th of ^eptemlx»i, 1UM, stipulated that 1,000 copies of this book weie to

The 10th of October de Can ion, gmng his part of the contract to .livan Peiez (the
Secretary of the liqui i* ii , with the consent of Dr Albert, the latter employed a
printer, Pedro Tnncher, to make the ne<*e-'»aij ink so that they could work with the
two presses that were in his house The signatures and types, etc., were bought on
21st November from Lambeil Palmurl, who retired from business and no longer
needed them. Dr Albert also employed the printers, Gerardo Brunch (born in Hun-
gary) and Juan de Orlando y Cristobal Alemany. There are few mcunablea whot>o
history is so clearly related in contemporary documents as this Repertory of the
Holy 1 viquiMi ion The Contents of the Repertory are most varied, and are enriched
with contemporary MS. notes of an official of the Inquisition.

original epistle were written by Columbus in Spanish, one addressed to Luis de
Santangel, a secretary to King Ferdinand and the other to Habnel (misprinted
Raphael) Sanxis, treasurer of Aragon, both practically identical in other respects
The S&nxis copy was tinn-l«ited into Latin in Naples, 29 April, 1498, by Aliander de
